Mostly this site is just a holder for our family tree - Creagh-Osborne, Muir, Roberts, Taylor (no info yet) were the grandparents family names on so on back in time.

For Creagh there are traces back to 1720 and probable connection back to Andrew Creagh born 1550 and then tenuously back to the genesis of the Creagh branch from the O'Neils around AD500 when three brothers Pierce, Patrick and James commanded a party that defeated the Danish (viking) raiders at Linmerick. The O'Neils of course connect back to the high kings of old Ireland - but doesn't everyone.

For Osborne we connect back to Richard Osborne born 1580 who was sent from England to Ireland as a lawyer or magistrate in Elizabethan times and created a Baronet in 1629. Creaghs and Osbornes merged in my great Grandfather.

For Muir we go back to a Francis Muir in 1797, and for Roberts to a John Roberts in 1865. My grandmother (Muir) married a cousin (Roberts) so these two branches are a bit intertwined.

Of Mabel Frances (Jane) Taylor my father's mother I know nothing.
